  1. Heal the Planet Programme

    #SouthAfrica

    Heal the Planet is a cross-cutting, systems-based programme catalyzing the transformation of food systems through #agroecology while simultaneously addressing the interlinked water, waste, and energy nexus. Deeply rooted in the Agroecology Principles and aligned with “#Organic 3.0”, the programme takes an integrated approach to food sovereignty, ecosystem restoration, climate resilience, and regenerative economics. Utilizing living systems design and #biomimicry where possible, Heal the Planet is driven by the Rights of Mother Earth, local economic development, and contributing meaningfully to the #SDGs.

  6. 🥚 NEW: Space junk threatens #spacecraft and #astronauts. Engineers at Dalian University of #Technology built #aluminum "eggshell" arrays that deform together to spread impact #energy, with #water-filled versions dampening shockwaves further, cutting a projectile’s velocity by nearly 65% in tests.

  13. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦋✨ #Butterfly wing #color comes from #pterin crystals that bend and scatter #light rather than absorb it, keeping colors vivid without fading.

    Chemists developed a faster method to grow these #crystals without toxic solvents, producing small amounts of eco-friendly, non-toxic #pigment. The work points toward glitter made from #DNA-related compounds as a planet-friendlier alternative.

  20. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐌🌧️ #MaxPlanck researchers collected brown-lipped #snails on rainy days, fed them cucumbers and lichen, then coaxed out five different kinds of #mucus.

    Each #slime uses the same #proteins with varying concentrations, plus different amounts of #calcium and other ions. The result is a lubricant for gliding, two defensive options, a winter seal, and an adhesive that sticks to #wood, #glass, and #aluminum.

  28. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🫁🧪 #MIT engineers created a #hydrogel with microscopic air channels inspired by human #lungs.

    The material is 70% #water but lets #oxygen and water vapor pass through 10 times better than conventional hydrogels. In small human tests skin stayed cool and dry during #exercise while silicone patches caused sweating and a 6.5°C temperature rise.
